Bug Game Crash

[Lanconic]

My system: 4 gigs ram One Terabyte hd

ATI Radeon 5850 Intel i7 860

updated game with the latest 1.03 patch....it solved most of the crash problems but not all.

Playing w the biggest galaxy and 12 races and I have less that 100 ships..... The game will crash unexpectantly when trying to open say the diplomacy menu.

I am inclined to think this is a graphics issue because it is NOT exclusive to a single menu. It occurs in the build menu and the ships menu as well It also occurs in the design menu, especially if you try and upgrade ALL your ships at once.

Oddly enough the crash doesnt shut the game down, this may be a windows7 feature. While it is busy asking if I want to mail MS, I hit escape and save the game. So far this works quite well, however it is a very large pain w a big game file.

There seem to be a few odd issues still on some "i" processor Windows 7 systems that we haven't pinned down. If possible, can you please post a full DxDiag and a screenshot of the error as it happens? Seeing the exact message can be helpful (if you get a dialog where you can copy and paste the error message text, that would be helpful too). I've only seen a few other such reports and in all cases it was not a CTD but an error that you could continue to play after.

We hope to get this squared away in the next update.
